Hi I've got this problem atm.

Mine either can't see the HD on boot or is ok for 10 mins - sends the drive to sleep and it's all over.

I've just got a scsi zip drive and am trying to back up stuff when i can see the drive.

EMU recommended i then re plug in the the IDN leads just in case a connection has got loose.

Then try with a new hard drive. (i have a spare one for a new pc build)

and if i have no joy then i may need a new lead for the drive .

i spose if that doesn't work then it's a case of repairing the EMU or just going for and external/internal scsi drive. not really ideal.

i'll keep you posted on how i get on.
